²² Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it,
    but the punishment of fools is their folly.

¹² Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man,
    rather than a fool in his folly.

² A fool has no delight in understanding,
    but only in revealing his own opinion.

³ The foolishness of man subverts his way;
    his heart rages against Yahweh.

¹⁰ Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,
    much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

¹¹ When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom.
    When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

⁷ Wisdom is too high for a fool.
    He doesn’t open his mouth in the gate.
